kdbg security update

Description

**CentOS Errata and Security Advisory** CESA-2005:416-01 Kdbg is a K Desktop Environment (KDE) GUI for gdb, the GNU debugger. Kdbg 1.1.0 through 1.2.8 does not check permissions of the .kdbgrc file. If a program is located in a world-writable location, it is possible for a local user to inject malicious commands. These commands are then executed with the permission of any user that runs Kdbg. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CAN-2003-0644 to this issue. Users of Kdbg should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. **Merged security bulletin from advisories:** https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2005-June/061269.html **Affected packages:** kdbg
